I do think the issue you are describing is fixed in 0.51 https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1084
The other issue can be resolved. Which distribution and version are you using?

I'm using *Pd 0.50.2* It does have Edit > Font menu. That makes boxes bigger but it's not scales uniformly. All the graphical elements (bang slider etc) stay tiny AND changing font size messes up old patches because everything is crushed together and I have to clean up the patches again.
Is this resolved in Pd 0.51.1?
The reason I'm not trying Pd 0.51.1 right now is because it brings me to another problem: It is not available with *sudo* *apt install* on linux yet, and last time I compiled pd from source myself, it worked but I couldn't double click pd files anymore nor access pd from desktop and I don't know how to install properly so that doesn't happen.

Which version of Pd? As for 0.51.1, you can go to the Pd window and in the Edit menu, there is a Font entry, here you can change the GUI font size. (Make sure you do it from the Pd window, not a patch window, where the same menu exists, but only changes the patch font size) However, the prompt windows and file choosers will still be minuscule.
